{"product_id":"0738329216580","title":"Take the Money and Run [Blu-ray]","description":"When Woody Allen's fans refer to his \"earlier, funnier\" pictures, they often cite his directorial debut as a shining example. Co-written by Allen and Mickey Rose, this side-splitting takeoff of crime documentaries stars Allen as Virgil Starkwell, a sweetly inept career criminal. The film's most celebrated sequence involves Virgil's inability to write coherent holdup notes (\"I have a gub\"), but others include Virgil's losing battle with a recalcitrant coke machine and his misguided effort to emulate John Dillinger by carving a gun out of a bar of soap (his weapon disintegrates in a heavy rain). As was often the case in Allen's early films, not all the gags work, but for the most part, Take the Money and Run is a delight, enhanced by the on-target supporting performances of Janet Margolin, Marcel Hillaire, and (uncredited) Louise Lasser, as well as the energetic musical score of Marvin Hamlisch.","brand":"KINO VIDEO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47089022763248,"sku":"0738329216580","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0738329216580_p0.jpg?v=1763521073","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0738329216580","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
